HowTo always trying to reconnect a topic..Plz Help

[joatack]

Hi everybody,

I really need help about the reconnection when a remote topic is unaccessible.

There are 2 environments :

- Server Topic side : configured with a topic based on a JBoss 4 server

(frontaldecomm)

- Client Topic side : based on JBoss 5.1 server updated with hornetQ (before it used jboss messaging).

If the client side lost the connection with the server side, it should always try to reconnect the topic. Actually, I simulated the deconnection by disabling the windows "local connexion area" and I could see, within the logs, that the client side try to reconnect some times but stop after few times. I had to reboot the Jboss of the client side...

Parts used in attached configuration files :

- jms-ds.xml : mbean with ProviderName : QueuehostJMSProvider (come from the old configuration with jboss messaging)

- hornetq-jms.xml : factories with retry connection properties

- ra.xml : some reconnect configs

I certainly didn't assimilate all configurations but the fact is that my client side could receive messages from the topic but if the topic is off more than 2 minutes, I had to reboot my JBoss from the client side.

Please help me, I already spent 3 days on that....my boss will kill me

thx in advance,

Jo

I'm missing some context here as how you are reconnecting it.

It appears an issue with your application?

Also: what version of hornetq?

Ok, I changed my way to do.

Before in the code, we used an ejb (v2) which used and invoker (define in standardjboss.xml) which called the mbean (in jms-ds.xml).

Now I changed the bean to EJB 3 and the adapterResource is hornet.sar.rar (so the ra.xml).

I configured the ra.xml to connect to a remote factory (via nettyConnectorFactory), I could see the reconnection but I have this error : Failed to create netty session factory...

2 Questions :

- The server side is on JBoss 4 using JBossMQ, is it possible to connect a netty connector (from hornetq) to a JBossMQ Topic ?

-  Else, is it possible to always reconnect when we use an invoker ? I could see the "reconnectionIntervalSec" parameter but no "reconnectAttemps" or things like that......

Thanks for your help...

You should use HornetQ libraries to talk to HornetQ, and JBoss MQ libraries to talk to JBoss MQ. There's no way to make a Netty connector to talk to JBoss MQ.

Take a look at the JMSBridge. where you can use both libraries on each side.
